Hello! My name is Jonathan Lee Wilson. I’m a creative husband and father of five. My dream is to create a regular series of original stories. My YouTube channel is called “Tale Tellers Universe”. See my channel here! So far I’ve written several flash fiction and micro fiction stories. My goal here is to raise funds to create my noir style supernatural detective series: “Reyes: Paranormal Files.”

Let me tell you all about it…

Bring Reyes to Life: A Gritty Supernatural Detective Series

Chicago has always been a city of stories—dark alleys, flickering neon, and secrets hidden just beneath the surface. Reyes is a cinematic series in development that blends supernatural mystery, noir detective grit, and deeply human storytelling. At its heart is Detective John Reyes, a seasoned investigator with a sharp intuition that borders on the supernatural. He’s the cop they call when the case doesn’t add up—the strange murders, the unexplainable signs, the shadows that shouldn’t move.

This series isn’t just another paranormal show. It’s a fully realized world with multi-season arcs, complex characters, and high-definition realism inspired by the best of television drama. We’re developing it with cutting-edge AI tools, cinematic storyboarding, original musical scoring, and professional-grade editing to create something independent yet worthy of streaming-level quality.

Your contribution will directly fund the essentials that make Reyes possible:

• Software Licensing – AI art/video platforms, editing suites, and sound design tools to produce professional visuals.

• Advertising & Promotion – Building an audience on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok to grow Reyes into a full community experience.

• Merchandise & Perks – Exclusive collectibles, branded apparel, and behind-the-scenes content for supporters.

• Production Costs – From voice work to score creation, every detail that brings Reyes’ world to life.

By supporting this project, you’re not just funding a series—you’re helping build an entire universe of stories. Every contribution pushes us closer to delivering full 10–15 minute episodes, with layered soundscapes, cinematic fight sequences, and long-form storytelling that can compete with what you’d see on major platforms.

We invite you to stand shoulder to shoulder with Detective Reyes. Become part of the case. Help uncover the truth lurking in the shadows.

No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or returns on investment are offered in exchange for any donations made to this GoFundMe.
